To use the camera in Windows phone 8 you need to use the PhotoCamera object. Best to create this object on your OnNavigatedTo like so:

protected override void OnNavigatedTo (System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e) 
{ 
    if (PhotoCamera.IsCameraTypeSupported(CameraType.Primary) == true) 
    { 
        cam = new PhotoCamera(CameraType.Primary); 
        cam.CaptureImageAvailable += new EventHandler<Microsoft.Devices.ContentReadyEventArgs>(cam_CaptureImageAvailable); 
        viewfinderBrush.SetSource(cam); 
    }
    else 
    {
        txtMessage.Text = "A Camera is not available on this device."; }
    }   
}
// dispose when we leave
protected override void OnNavigatingFrom (System.Windows.Navigation.NavigatingCancelEventArgs e) 
{ 
    if (cam != null) 
    { 
        cam.Dispose(); 
    } 
}

To actually capture the image from the camera you can then call the CaptureImage method on the cam object.
